OWON SPE6103 60V 10A Programmable Lab DC Power Supply
The Owon SPE6103 is a very compact single-channel DC benchtop power supply with all the regular features such as over voltage (OVP) and over current protection (OCP). It has a high resolution at 10mV/1mA. The display is a high resolution 2.8" LCD which displays set, limit and momentary parameters. The SPE 6103 allows you to monitor the voltage and current in real-time, using graphs on the display. You can store and edit up to 4 groups of output waveforms. The power supply can be hooked up to a host PC with USB and communicate via SCPI. It makes for a great, simple, slim form factor power supply with plenty of power for beginners.

The following steps check basic current functions with a short across the power supply's output:
- Connect a short across (+) and (-) output terminals with an insulated test lead on this channel. Use a wire size sufficient to handle the maximum current.
- Set the output voltage to the maximum rating on this channel.
- Turn on the channel output. Ensure the channel you used is in Constant Current output mode.
- Set some different current values on this channel; check if the actual current value displayed is close to the set current value, and to check if the actual voltage value displayed is nearly zero.
- Check that if the output current can be adjusted from zero to the maximum rating, When it is set to the maximum or minimum, a beep is heard, indicating that the limit has been reached.
- Turn off the channel output and remove the short circuit from the output terminals.
